Orchestral Composer. I believe art is a necessity.

Trent Moriarty is an orchestral composer who is best known for his soundtrack of The Forgotten City, an expansion mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The first video game mod ever to win a Writers Guild Award and played by over 1.8 million people, the soundtrack was often praised by fans and the press. PC GAMER lauded that “You’re in good hands when it comes to the score.”

He cites some of his musical influences as being Mozart, Jeremy Soule, Howard Shore, Wagner, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Debussy, and Joe Hisaishi.
